(i) Poisson distribution, because it is used to describe the
distribution of rare events. Here, number of complaints received is
0.3 per minute, which indicates that receipt of complaints is a
rare event.
(ii) Binomial distribution, because the 'success' probability of
the event is given as 3%. We are observing a specified number of
successes in the given sample and there are 2 outcomes -
incorrectly priced or correctly priced.
(iii) Normal distribution, because the value of the mean and
standard deviation of the population is given here. It is used to
fit the distribution of many natural phenomena and since many
loaves of bread, they are bound to follow this distribution in the
long run.
